Boy Who Died At Father’s Mansion Was Assaulted & Thrown From Balcony

A year after a 6-year-old boy died after falling from a staircase in his father’s mansion, a medical report now claims he was assaulted and then thrown off the balcony! Read on for more details.

Max Shacknai, 6, was found dead after apparently falling from a large staircase in his millionaire father’s spacious San Diego home while his dad’s girlfriend Rebecca Zahau was taking care of him. However, little Max’s death was the just first in a strange series of events.

Two days later, Rebecca was found found hanged, bound, and naked, from a balcony in the home.

Oddly enough, police declared both deaths solved, and millionaire Jonah Shacknai — Max’s father and Rebecca’s boyfriend — was not a suspect in either death, according to the Daily Mail.

However, Max’s mother and Johna’s ex-wife, Dinah Shacknai, was not satisfied and hired her own team of investigators.

According to a new report, Max’s death was a homicide.

Dinah hired the help of two medical experts, a forensic pathologist and an injury biomechanics expert, who both declared his injuries were consistent with being beaten. The injuries he sustained could not have been caused by a fall, Dr. Judy Melinek, the forensic pathologist, declared.

The Coronado Police Department said it would review the report and decide whether to reopen the investigation, according to the Daily Mail.

I’ve been saying this since the first time the story came out I really hope they re open both cases there is no way a woman who was bound could hang herself and I don’t know a lot of women who would hang themselves naked also just saying.
